I don't think this can be generalized to 100% of the market. There's probably a good percrnt of the personal travel market that would gladly pay more for a non stop flight than save a few bucks with a stop or two. Then buisness travelers whose company pays for their flights will probably not mind the small cost difference for saving of time.

It needs to be a big difference in price for me to take a stop vs. non-stop even for personal travel. Every stop is an additional opportunity for missed connections, flight problems, etc. I rarely make stops voluntarily.
